Buskaid: Concerto No 13 in C Major K 415 - Rondeau Allegro

Описание: Piano Concerto No 13 in C Major K 415: Last movement: Rondeau Allegro Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756 - 1791)
PIANO: Melvyn Tan

This performance was filmed at a concert given by the Buskaid Soweto String Ensemble in 2018 at the Linder Auditorium, Johannesburg. Melvyn Tan, who has performed on two separate occasions in Johannesburg with the Buskaid Ensemble, most generously donated both performances. This concerto was one of three which Mozart composed in 1782, and subsequently arranged for piano and string quartet, in order to boost his earnings as a freelance musician. The Wiener Zeitung, an important Viennese newspaper, published the news: “Herr Kapellmeister Mozart announces herewith to the highly respected public the issuance of three newly completed piano concertos: These three concertos, which can be performed with a large orchestra including wind instruments, or only a quattro, that is with 2 violins, 1 viola and violoncello, will be available at the beginning of April to those who have subscribed from them (they will be beautifully copied and revised by him personally). The subscription tickets are available at 4 ducats. Mozart’s apartment is on the High Bridge in the small Herberstein House no. 327, on the third floor.”

The Buskaid Music School is situated in Diepkloof Soweto, and offers high quality string tuition to the local, less privileged community. In 2022 Buskaid celebrates its 25th Anniversary.
